How do fossils get so deep underground?

Answer 1

Fossils don't really "get inside" rocks. The thing being fossilized (let's say a trilobite) was alive before the rock had formed and was still sediment, but when it died it was buried in the mud or sediment which would eventually become the rock.

Answer 2

over time more and more sediment pushes the fossil down

real answer is because there was a world wide flood, pressure of the water and waves would scatter and bury the remains deep under dirt and ground.

look what happened after the tsunami everything was buried including bodies and homes.. land was changed and soil would be where it once was not. Fossils is evidence and proof there actually was a world wide flood.

only way fossils can be formed is if there was a sudden huge rush of water that came quickly, then also left quickly, which im not in anyway trying to prove The Bible, but its funny that it says it was 40 days... fossils do not form in the bottom of lakes or the sea... so it proves that huge amounts of water with alot of pressure had to come quickly, forming a FLOOD, and also dry out, which is what floods do eventually..

for anyone to assume bones would just someone dig themselves underground after many years are just as naive and stupid as the people that believe blindly in what scientists have to say about evolution.

Like this question and the answer given above for example... CLEARLY DELUDED..

Fish fossils where also found high in the mountains also proof of a flood.

its the pressure from the water, and also the shifting of soil, dirt and debri from a huge wave or flood that can bury things so deep.

this is the truth, but others would rebel against this answer because i kinda points to the bible being right again.

Answer 3

If you died right this instant, you would not go deep underground. Even if you were buried at a funeral, you wouldn't become a fossil. You need conditions that are rare. You need to die in a way that scavengers wouldn't reach you. You would have to be left alone and and covered by silt or sediment before your bones decompose. It would be easier at the bottom of the sea and not on land.

Answer 4

Well here is the process OK, first the fossils dry up and then it rains then the dirt mixes with the rain making mud then the mud dries up covering the fossils

Answer 5

Usually through uplift of the rock formation by tectonic forces and erosion of the overlying material.

Answer 6

Over years and years sand and dirt mud ect. go over the dead animal/plant and descentigrate it then it gets buried

Answer 7

It could disintegrate.
